TORPOINT Mosquito Sailing Club has secured £40,000 of Olympic legacy funding from Sport England's 'Inspired Facilities' fund.

The club is one of 45 grassroots sports associations in the South West to share in a £2.4-million post-Olympic boost.

Others include Lostwithiel skateboarders, who will benefit after £50,000 was awarded to the Town Council to replace a 14-year-old timber skateboard ramp with a more secure concrete ramp, suitable for all levels.
